What Mn De the Issue!
In tho coming canvass in this cou,


In the coming canvass in this county
there will be but one ticket, the dem
ocratic conscqucutlythc only issue will
be i'm the selection OF candidates for
the legislature. There ore several
matters which cannot be rcmcdicd cN-
ccpt by amendments to the constitu-
'tion. among them the question of ell
Getting the judges by the people.
Whether or not the imam who offers
himscl! rs Il candidate for Reprcscn-
,atiyc is in favor of elccting the judi
ciary or holds to the appointing sys-
tenn, he should favor submitting the
question to the people to be settled At
the ballot box. II the people are quail
flied to select the Governor they are
certainly able to make choice Of the
men who shall administer the laws.
The question of taxation will cut n
considerable figure, and the man who
has economic views in administering
governmental affairs will undoubtedly
he the most acceptable. Taxes should
have been reduced, but the cxtrava-
CANT expenditures made it impossible
and besides not being reduced, Il large
list of privilege taxes were levied by
tile last legislature. \ man is needed

The Labor System.

The most serious drawback to agri-
cultural prosperity is the unsettled
condition If our labor system. ln'thc
North and West, when II farmer con-
tracts for days or a years labor, he
expects that labor and generally gets
u faithful return for tho money spent
in wages. The unfaitlful complioncc
with contracts has very much i'm
pcded the progress Of farmers and the
unrcliability of LABOR has brought
many ont in debt. On an average, n
coorcd la6Orcr works not more than
half the time. This may seem little
cxiravagant, but II any farmer will
take the trouble to think for moment
he will see that il is true. The Ni;ks-
burg Herald has examined the matter,
and from ii we take the following par
agraph:
The negro laborcr begins work in
the year from To = months late. That
time Is aS valuable n any other por-
ton, bat il /, generally lost ncvcrthe-
less. lie stops work just Us soon as
the cotton is picked, which is usually
from 80 to 80 days before the end Of
the year. All that time however is
valuable when there Is cotton TO pick.
During The year hc takes day out Of
every week for holiday and there il
nearly always another ono lost for
some triiling cause. The least show
cr of rain, or the least cold runs him
To shelter. In that way from 20 Ia
40 more DAYS are lost. During {! e
day. lac loses fully two hours that
ought not To be lost.
The HERALD makes no account Of the
time lost between "laying by and
gathering time, which is consid-
cradle, nor does il mention the time
taken up in biz meetings, ETC., which
/, al. wight, If done nj the proper time.
IL is sa.C 10 say trrt OFT, vi TIE 3l3 DAYS
dat con iituic working year, the
farmer receives only about 100. There
should be remedy for this. When n
7 farmer contracts for years labor, he
should receive that labor except rs him
dcrcd by providcntial circumstances.
The next legislature should pass
some kind o! law compelling the COM
pliancc with contracts, both by en-
+ ploycr and employee. Our system Of
labor is radically wrong, and there
can be no PROSPERITY 10 frrmer or to
the colored laborcr until it is made re-
liable, AMI they are made 10 know the
obligation Of contract.
